THE SUNDAY OREGOXTAN", PORTLAND. NOVEMBER 8, 1914. COTTON LOAN PLAN DECLARED LAWFUL Attorney -General Reassures President in Opinion De- fending Proposal. PRICE NOT TO BE FIXED T"o Restriction Placed on Sale and No Combination Intended That Would Be Forbidden by .'. Anti-Trust Laws. WASHINGTON, Nov. 7. No violation of the anti-trust laws is threatened by the $135,000,000 cotton loan fund plan, according- to an opinion handed down late today by Attorney-General Greg- erv at the reauest of .President Wilson, "I am unable to see how such a plan eould be thought to fall within the pur. view of the anti-trust laws," the opin Ion aavs. The plan was' perfected recently by bankers and members of the eoerai Reserve Board and Mr. Gregory's opln. Ion was rendered after his conference today with President Wilson. The Treasury Department made public to night the following correspondence: President Htkea Inquiry. Writing- Mr. Gregory, the President said: "I am sending; the enclosed papers. submitted to me by the Secretary of the Treasury in order to ascertain whether In your opinion the proposed cotton loan fund may ue lawruny formed, I know that It Is contrary to the practice of the department to give opinions beforehand as to- contem plated transactions, and I think such opinions ought never In ordinary cir cumstances be given, but the circum stances with regard to the handling of the great cotton crop which have been created by the European war are most extraordinary, and seem to justify ex traordinary action." "It occurs to me that the fund con templated stands in a class by Itself. It is hardly conceivable that such ar rangements should become settled practices or furnish precedents which would be followed in the regular course' of business or under ordinary conditions. They are as exceptional in their nature as fhe circumstances they are meant to deal with and can hardly be looked upon as, by possibility even, dangerous precedents." Consnmlns; Nations 'at War, In reply Mr. Gregory -wrote: "Countries which take annually about 8,000.000 bales of American cot ton more than half the crop are now engaged In war. Trade between the United States and those countries in some cases virtually has come to a complete stop - and in others has been seriously hindered. Foreign exchange has been badly demoralized. In conse quence of these extraordinary condi tions It has been impossible to obtain In the usual ways the large amount of cash required to liquidate the Indebted ness incurred in the course of raising and harvesting the cotton crop. "To meet this situation the plan In Question has been proposed. It contem plates the making by a syndicate com posed principally of banks and bank ers of a fund of $135,000,000 to be lent on the security of cotton to borrowers In the cotton-growing states under the direction of central committees, com posed of individual members of the Federal Reserve Board and various auxilary committees. - Restriction Not Involved. "Nothing In the nature of price-fix ing, restriction of production, division of territory or control of markets 1 Involved. Loans will be made as freely to buyers of cotton as to producers The members of the syndicate will be perfectly free to make other loans in any amount, to any persons, and on any lawful terms. Borrowers will be under no restraint whatever as to the price or the time at which they may sell their cotton. Nor will their free agency In borrowing or in not borrowing as they see lit In any manner be restrict ed. In short, the plan simply provides the cash which is imperatively required to liquidate the Indebtedness incurred In the course of raising and marketing the cotton crop, but which cannot now be obtained from the usual sources OT supply, because of the extraordinary conditions prevailing in the money markets and in the trade of .the world "The amount of this fund is barely more than. 1 per cent of the total out standing loans and discounts 'of bank ing institutions In the United States, and is much less than the amount of cash usually employed In marketing the cotton crop. Nor would even this small part of the banking capital of the United States become impounded aa a result of the plan; but upon be ing lent, would return at once Into gen eral circulation. "I am unable to see how such a plan could be thought to Tall within the purview of the anti-trust laws." Every available German soldier, he j says, apparently has been called to the rront. Ghent, Bruges, Antwerp, Brus sels and Louvaln are rapidly filling up with an ever-increasing number of wounded soldiers. No civilian is allowed near the rail way stations, but the age of most of the men who are transported in litters Indicates that the majority of them are members of the older landsturm. On the other hand, trains arriving from Germany en route to the front are filled with boys from 17 to 20 years old who, having volunteered at the be ginning of the war, are now suffi ciently trained to enter the combat. No correspondent. If known. Is al lowed near the front, but the gist of opinion of several Dutch correspond ents who, because they are able to speak Flemish and behaved like citi zens, frequently managed to reach vil lages on the front, is that the Germans are slowly but surely retreating. They base their opinion on the fact that the German division staff on No vember 2 moved from Thielt to Ghent. 33 kilometers to the east, and that tha line from Ghent, Alost to Brussels, was being heavily Intrenched until Novem ber 1, when toe engineers In charge were hastily called to the front to fill vacanrles. It is clear, according to these corre spondents, that the Germans have been concentrating large forces drawn from the southeastern battle line on the front near Nieuport and Dlxmude. GAHHANZA BEATEN FORCES IN BATTLE Ex-Federals Capture Tehua can, Puebla, in Fight in Which Many Are Slain. CONSUL REPORTS NEWS are reported already to have been de nuded by the Germans to help satisfy the demand for raw material in Ger many. B.OULERS, Belgium, Nov. 7, via Lon don. This city, which was the head quarters of the German staff during the attack on Ypres, has suffered ter ribly. It has been bombarded twice and was partly destroyed by an incen diary Are after the Germans had ac cused citizens of shooting- at - German soldiers and In retaliation had burned down a large district occupied by the working classes. The Belgians, however, contend that French cavalry was responsible for the shooting and deny any participation by Belgian citizens. It is impossible to determine the truth of these accusations and counter charges, but it is commonly reported that up to the present time 43 private citizens have been shot by the Germans, while a fine of 100,000 ' rrancs was levied on the town. Later tie fine was doubled and the money to pay it collected by the daughters of a number of prominent citizens, who. In house-to-house canvass, were able to raise the amount in cash. The city is now under strict military aw and the Mayor and six leading itizens are obliged to reside In the town hall as hostages. Since Novem- er 4 no one has been allowed to leave the northern part of Belgium. Al though the Dutch government con tinues to keep the frontier open to all refugees the German military authori ties will not issue passports to allow persona to leave the occupied territory.

French ar tillery from well-chosen positions sweeps the plain over which the Ger mans are obliged to advance, Inflicting severe punishment. The latest German operations in the Argonne forest and on the plains of the Woevre district are part of a scheme to Invest Verdun. This struggle to Isolate the great fortress of the Meuse extends over a vast region. The ac tions on the heights east of the river and around St. Mihiel are a part of this campaign. The French, however, are fully alive to the importance of the sit uation there and are taking the often sive with success at several points. TSER POSITIONS EVACUATED Enormous Force of Germans Re- ported Moving on Ypres. LONDON, Nov. 7. Telegraphing from Amsterdam, the correspondent of Reu ter's Telegram Company says that the German authorities at Bruges have placed a proclamation on the front of the town, hall saying that the German army has evacuated its positions on the Yaer to open a strong attack on Ypres. At Gits, Roulers, Llchtervelde and Thourout, towns in West Flanders, as well as other villages to the east of the fighting line, great movements of German troops can be observed. Ex hausted soldiers are returning from the battlefields, while reinforcements of fresh men are advancing in the direc tion of Tpres and Dixmude. The fighting between these two cities la still extremely severe, and both sides appear to- have suffered terrible losses. Long columns of cars filled with the wounded are arriving at Bruges from Roulers, Tpres and Ingelmunster. ROOSENDAAL, via London. Nov. 7. A Belgian who, under cover of dark ness, managed to cross the frontier at an unguarded point and reach this city, declares that Antwerp and other Bel- Stan towns are only lightly guarded. communication issued tonight says: "The activity of the Germans has been general today on the whole front. but all their attacks have been re pulsed, notably those which they di rected on Cambrin-aix-Noulette and La Quesnoy-en-Santerre. We have taken a few trenches In the region of Thiepval, at the north of Albert, reoccupied our former trenches at the northeast of Vailli and taken at the point of the bayonet the village of St. Remi on tne neignts ox the Meuse." The earlier communication today said: On our left winjr the situation Is relatively quiet on the Tser down stream from Dlxmude. The Belgian troops, who advanced along the right bank of the Tser from Nieuport in the direction of Lombaertzyde, and who had been counter attacked by the Ger mans, were sustained in time. The sit uation 'has been entirely re-established In this locality. At Dixmuda the marine fusiliers re pulsed a fresh counter offensive move ment.. Farther to the south the at tacks of the enemy around Blxschote also were repulsed by French troops, who subsequently advanced. To the east of Ypres, the situation Is without change. To the southeast of this town we have resumed the offensive in com bination with the British troops oper ating in this region, and repulsed an attack particularly violent and pro nounced by detachments belonging to the active army corps recently brought Into this region by the Germans. "Between Armentieres and the Canal of La Bassee, the British Army, on its side, repulsed a violent attack on Neuve Chapelle. Between the Canal of La Bassee and Arras, as well as be tween Arras and the Olse. several counter attacks, delivered by night and by day, have been checked. We even made some slight progress in the re glon of Vermelles and to the south of Aix Noulette. ,i - On the center, in the region of Vail ly we continued during the day of yes terday to recapture ground previously lost by us. In the Argonne fresh at tacks on the part of the enemy were repulsed and at the end of the day ou troops made progress at Beveral points. To the northeast of Verdun we have taken possession of the villages of Haucourt and Nogeville. In the wooded, region along the heights of the Meuse. southeast of Ver dun. and in the Forest of Apremont. southeast of St. Mihiel, the offensive movements of the enemy failed. Some trenches In the vicinity of Saint Remi were carried by our troops. "On our right wing the attacks of the Germans on the advanced positions o the Grand Couronne of Nancy the cir cle of fortifla positions surrounding Nancy), resulted In perceptible losses for the enemy. A surprise attack under taken by the enemy against the heights which dominate Mount Salnte Marie, re suited in complete failure. KAISER IS CLOSE ' TO FRONT GERMAN TOBACCOS USED French Thrift Impels Continued TJse of Goods Made by Foe. PARIS, Oct. 28. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) The govern ment tobacco monopoly bas in a sense caused France to continue as a pur veyor of goods "made In Germany." notwithstanding the sentiment against the use of any goods except those made at home or In allied or neutral coun tries. At the outbreak of the war large stocks of German cigarettes were on hand and it appears that French need, or possibly thrift, demands their sale and consumption. Resolutions have been adopted ask ing public prosecutors to compel the equestratlon of all commercial estab lishments owned by Germans or Aus trian! that are continuing business un der dlsguiseB. The pencil trade, which was almost entirely In the hands of German and Austrian firms, offers an opportunity to American and English makers. One Austrian bouse, in an effort to save its business, resorted to the ex pedient of hoisting the American flag In front of its door, asserting a right to do so because it held the agency oi an American-made fountain pen. i " f y is X 131 Hllili DISCHARGES DELEGATE Carranza General Repudiates Action of Convention.
